FAQ
Which residency visa is best for me in Portugal?
It depends on your passive income, savings, employer, age, and whether you want a fast path to permanent residency or citizenship. An Arriva-verified immigration lawyer will map your situation to the current visa categories in a first consultation.
How long does residency take in Portugal?
Most straightforward residency applications take 3–9 months from first filing to receiving the physical card, though wait times shift with each government. Your lawyer will give you a realistic timeline for your specific visa category.
Do I need to be in Portugal to start the process?
For some visa categories, yes — for others you can prepare documents from abroad and only travel for biometrics or the final appointment. Your lawyer will tell you exactly which trips are required.
How does Arriva verify pros in Portugal?
Every pro on Arriva goes through government ID verification, reference checks, and — where the service requires it — business license and credential review. Ongoing review moderation keeps profiles honest after they go live.
